1000 Season Chasing Stars

CHAPTER 13

Laura shakes. ''It's okay-2, Erika. You don't have to pay, just think of it as a gift because you're the first customer to visit our kiosk.”

''Thank you, '' said Erika smiling fakely. (you must be pretending in front of Niko. He wants to look good in his eyes. But I know you must have deliberately planned all this)

The first 2 hours, Laura to be overwhelmed serving consumers who come to buy at her stall. Fortunately there was Niko who helped him through the busy 2nd moment.

''If sales like this continue until the afternoon, our class can be champion, said Niko optimistically on the sidelines of 2 times serving consumers.

Laura smile. ''Hopefully so.''

During the break, Laura and Niko take turns guarding the stall with their other classmates. Now, after being able to rest, Laura headed towards the hall. Photo-2 view meets the hall wall. But at the end of the photo-2 there are ten pictures.

Laura approached picture-2. He recognized the image of the star ring that he had given Niko. Nine other images are no less interesting. All contain jewelry designs, ranging from bracelets, rings, necklaces, to earrings-2.

''So, what do you think?'' ask for a voice behind him.

Laura recognized Niko's voice. ''Makes me want to wear everything you've drawn. You're very talented. You can be a great jewelry designer.''

''My parents won't approve, '' Niko said sadly. ''They have prepared me to be a doctor, just like them.''

Niko smiled sadly, dozens of times. But they don't want to hear it. They just think of my picture as a hobby.''

Laura looked at Niko's picture again. ''I think everyone can do whatever they want for their future.''

''I hope it can be that easy, Niko looked at her one image and stroked it slowly. ''After all, they are still my parents.''

Hearing that Laura felt lucky. Mama never forced her to choose the path of her life (''do what you want, Laura,'') said mom two years ago when Laura desperately tried to enter the IPA. (''Pick the right one-2 you want and live it really-2, because then, you have learned to be an adult.'')

Laura looked at Niko again, Niko's gaze still glued to her picture. He hopes Niko's parents can change their minds and realize what their child really wants. Next to Laura, Although Niko was feeling sad, the burden in her heart seemed to lift. It's so nice to tell this to others. All this time his parents always made him realize how important it is to be a doctor. While Erika, she is happy to have a doctor-to-be boyfriend. Niko can't talk about her desire to be a different person, a jewelry designer.

No matter how long Niko & Laura remained silent in the school hall, but the moment of both ended when several people approached them.

''Niko,'' said one of their dr, ''here you are apparently.''

Laura looked towards the direction the voice came from. There were 4 people in front of him. One of them was Erika, and the other three were adults. The gaze of a middle-aged man went straight towards the picture behind Niko. A moment later his gaze turned furious, but he tried to endure it.

''Niko, introduce, '' said the man then while holding back his emotions, ''this is the dean of the university's dental school that you will enter later. Doctor Eko wijaya.''
